Fighting the good fight

More!

3/19/2019

 
 I am finally content with my position in life. Having just read an article about man always striving for more, reaching for goals simply because you need more in life, I am beginning to understand why people are not happy, they're just locked into not being happy with what they already have .
The author cited a study where they gave people pagers (1980's) and asked them 2 questions to be written down when the pager went off. #1 was on a scale of 1-10 how happy are you at the moment? #2 was what is going on in your life to make you feel this way?
Most of the time, it was a 7. It went up or down but always ended up at 7.
I have been there, much like many of you. Fortunately, I believe I have arrived at a 9 most of the time. I am content with my position in life for the first time. I no longer hunger for more, no longer need more. Life is not perfect, but I'm close.
I stopped chasing rainbows years ago and now enjoy the pleasure each day brings me. Happiness with family and friends, financially stable, (fortunately), spending time teaching my beloved great grandson and enjoying his company!  What more do I need?
I wish the same for all the people in my life and may it come before you die. It took me 65 years to understand how rich I am with just what I have.
May peace find YOU and may you have a great day!

    I am a 70 year young soul with the grit and stamina of a 40 year old, who has much to contribute before I decide to leave this world.
    I believe in equal rights for all. I am no better or worse than you unless you or I prove otherwise.
    You do not have the right to determine my life any more than I have the right to determine yours.
    Your beliefs are your beliefs, mine are mine. If they happen to coincide, wonderful!
    If not, let's talk about it!
    We can make this world a better place,
    but it will take all of us working together!
